Motorcycles 2020 KTM RC 390 Spied Testing

2020 Husqvarna FC 450 First Ride Review

First 2020 motocross bike test of the year.

KTM was spotted testing yet another new 2020 model, this time a refreshed RC 390 . Since its initial release in 2015, the RC 390 has received a handful of updates, but not the massive overhaul that it deserves in light of the numerous gremlins that have affected the machine.

KTM was spotted testing yet another new 2020 model, this time a refreshed RC 390. This follows a spate of recently leaked testing images, including shots of a new 1290 Super Adventure and an 890 SMT/GT. The RC 390 might be one of the most exciting though, since it has a lot of room for improvement.

Since its initial release in 2015, the RC 390 has received a handful of updates, but not the massive overhaul that it deserves in light of the numerous gremlins that have affected the machine. If you don't know what we mean, be sure to check out our long-term series on the 2015 model modified for race duty.

We strapped our test gear to the all-new Supra to find out how it compares to the iconic fourth-gen model.We didn't want to just stop there, though, so we brought a Supra back to our Ann Arbor, Michigan, office to subject it to our full instrumented testing. And because we know our audience (and because we were interested, too), we decided to compare the new A90 Supra's numbers to those of a Supra Turbo that we tested in 1993, the first year of the fourth-generation A80 model.

Just Done a vlog on KTM RC 390 Top Speed . The ignition cuts the power automatically at 179 kmph at 10000 RPM as the ECU of the machine is mapped like that

Unfortunately, the spy shots we have in our possession don’t reveal if the electrical or engine issues have been addressed, but we can hope.

The changes to the bodywork, however, are immediately apparent and are a substantial deviation from the steady path the bike’s been on, aesthetically, since 2015. New side panels and tailsection along with a brand-new front end, headlight, windscreen, and an altered trellis frame are clearly visible.

With Euro 5 coming into effect next year, there are surely changes coming to the intake and exhaust systems, and perhaps even more sophisticated electronics. The small-displacement sportbike class is pretty packed these days, and even though the RC 390 has been a standout since it’s debut, a revised dash display and maybe a ride mode or two would go a long way to keeping it at, or near, the head of the pack.
